Comment:
He was kinda corny with his jokes but you can tell he has an awesome love for music in general. It cant help but make you love the class. He does take random attenance that goes toward your grade. He also sprung 2 short 2pg papers on us 2 days before it is due but if you come to class and do some studying you will get an A.

Comment:
He moves too fast on slides, students can't take good notes. Gives reviews before tests though far more material is on the test than the review. Final paper is incredibly difficult and the first paper does not have any individual instruction at all.Only one hard copy syllabus is handed out,no online syllabus or class website and doesnt use Webct

Very fun class. Pretty easy teacher, but his personality can be very abrasive at times. Arm yourself with facts from the textbook to show that you've studied, and you'll be fine.

I found him to be a really interesting professor, and the class was great. However, when he got really excited it was hard to follow his train of thought. Still a great class though.

Comment:
Overall a good professor. Definitely knows his stuff as far as world music goes. He can get a little boring towards the end of the semester, but it's not too bad. I wouldn't suggest buying the book though, because he tells you everything that he will test you over.
